The video presentation – via The GM Lab, which is a blog set up through General Motors public relations, displays some of the finer tidbits of Avant. First off we at Buickpedia have to comment – we LOVE the look of Avant! Knowing this is merely the concept we know Avant won’t keep its futuristic design after production model phase, but the slender curves and egg-like shape ranks up there with Hyundai’s Accent and Toyota’s Yaris.

Special features being worked into Avant’s design include a retractile luggage storage trolley, which loads/unloads the vehicle for its driver, “Smart Doors” and translucent glass roof, which can switch from clear to dark in a matter of seconds. GM claims their “research was not brand specific” when working on Buick Avant – wonder what a Chevy Avant would look like? Stay tuned for more here and at thelab.gmblogs.

It might be one of the greatest lines (pertaining to automobiles) in hip-hop history: “Six-nine Buick, deuce keeps rollin’ – One hub-cap ’cause three got stolen, Bumper shook loose, chrome keeps scrapin’ – Mis-matched tires, and my white walls flakin’” – Sir Mix-A-Lot needed a follow-up to his wildly successful “Baby Got Back” and turned to his trusty ‘69 Buick: aka his hooptie, which in urban vernacular (according to Urban Dictionary) means A junky, worthless car that the owner had put money into that only makes it look worse. Or even comical. Sounds like Mix-A-Lot could have used a Cash for Clunkers program.
